You have now entered the wonderful
NOW, on to the main attraction. "Who are they?" you may be asking yourself, and what do we truly stand for. Well, let me give you the quick low-down to let y'all understand a little bit more.
LIGHTS PLEASE! ROLL FILM!
The new-age hip hop group, consisting of the duo Omari "Epitome" Saxby and Matthew "Matty" Bacon, began its formation in the second-half of 2010. Individually, each artist was on their own grind, pushing music to their independent audiences; each had the same goal of reaching out to people through their sounds. Omari and Matthew met each other in high school at Fordham Preparatory High School in the Bronx, New York. They became friends but after high school, they went back to their own lives due to no one's fault. However, when they both discovered that their sounds were very similar, they decided to see how they'd sound when doing a collaboration track. They did their first track in December of 2010 sampling "Pon De Floor," a super-fast, up-tempo Jamaican track. Instantly, people loved it and they received great feedback with nearly 1,000 YouTube views in the first week. With that as a great indicator to them, they created their super-duo group and called themselves "Children of January" or "#COJ" for short. The name of the group derived from Matty and Epitome both being January babies, and that they felt in January of the new 2011 year would be the official start of their musical takeover.
CUT! START IT FROM THE TOP!
With that brief history, Epitome and I are looking to take the game by storm; of course, we will need the help of YOU, YOU, AND YOU to back it up and dump it (ayeee). Pause, my bad. We will need your help to push the music that we create for your listening pleasures.
Get it?
Got it?!
GOOD.
Let me leave this first post with a quote from a great source and a great force...
